If you had told me ten years ago that someday I would pretty much become a superhero expert, I would have laughed. I would have laughed loud and perhaps uncontrollably. But now I know things like:

Green Lantern wears a power ring that gives him the ability to create solid objects.

Batman’s true identity is billionaire Bruce Wayne.

Mr. Freeze, enemy of Batman, is a former scientist who possesses a freeze gun and wears a cryogenic (explain THAT to a 5-year old) suit in order to survive.

As parents, we learn stuff like this to have something to talk about with our kids; to show them that we care about their interests. When I am able to hold my own in a conversation about superheroes with my boys, I see appreciation and pride in their eyes. That look is enough to make me do ridiculous things such as cooking up a chilly batch of Mr. Freeze Dough for afternoon free play.

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.
Thank you to everyone who participated!
Congratulations to Jodi L., winner of the Tree of Life necklace!
